MONEY and BUSINESS

There was no thrilling speculation last week.
and tho udings regarding business prospects
encouraged col fidcncc in the main, but the
changes in prices were small. and not
all on the upward side Stocks closed
lower by moro than half dollar per share,
notwithstanding the recovery near the end OF
the week, than on tho previous Saturday.
Wheat had declined from 80 IA Tuesday to
92 Friday but was lifted to 03 Ia again on
saturday by reports Of injury to the plant in
California and at the West. Corn and oats
closed with fractional advances, and oil. after
a dull week, with an advance Of an eighth.
Pork products were trile stronger. but coffee
lost quarter, and cotton barely recovered the
sixteenth it lost on Monday. Iron was steady
for options, with rails 81 and bar tenth high
or, but nails seemed weaker, and cattle declined
about Is cents.
Commercial and traffic statistics show gcn-
eral gains, but il Is right TO remember that the
business Of January last year was not consid-
cred particularly good. In surprising tho gross
earnings of that month the railroads are not
doing anything surprising, while many of them
have to report as great or even greater in
crease in expenses. The increase in gross earn
ings of fifty three roads for November was 81
per cent, whereas the gain in net earnings was
only 3.S per cent, which Is rather less than the
increase in mileage operated. The early re-
ports for January show largo gains In gross
earnings, II per cent on fifty six roads reported
for the first week, and 20 per cent on forty-onc
roads for the second week. But these are
mainly small IOlds, aggpgating les than a
third of the usual weekly total for the first and
only a quarter for the second week. The larger
roads are apt to show relatively smaller gains
and all are apt to show increasing EXPENSES
The bank clcarings do not decsivcly Indicate
an expanding trade At New York last week
the corresponding week last year, and at Boston
n third of one per cent less, but at Philadcpbia
Baltimore and New Orleans the increase was
large. and at Chicago and st. Louis moderate
The returns from the smaller cities, however
continue to show considerable gains.
There is beginning 10 prevail feeling that
a pause in the expansion which has been going
on for months may be naturally expected. and
might be a good thing for industry in the end
The pace has been so hot that in some dirc-
tons there Is danger that credit has been ,oo
much extended, or that enlargement Of bust
ness has been carried TOO far. Late reports Of
failures by the Mercantile Agency show that

THE DANGER At CHATHAM SQUARE


There is general agreement of opinion that
the Chatham Square crossings arc the most
dangerous point in the elevated railway sys-
TEN. There is likewise widespread notion
that something must lie done TO Danish the
element of danger as far as possible. The
collision Of last week shows that the intcrlock-
ing switch and signal are not sure preventive
This system is probably as perfect as mans
ingenuity can make it ; but the most Obtrusve
of signals are useless if the man whose business
it is to see them shuts his eyes. The only
sure means Of safety is not to allow railway
tracks to cross each other on the same grade
The first serious accident On the elevated
roads occurred at Fory-sccond-st. At that
time every alternate train on the main Third
ave. line was switched off and ran to the Grand
Central Station. While such train was cross
ing the down tracks another train on those
tracks ran into it with serious results The
shuttle system was then introduced passengers
on their way to the Vanderbilt station were
required to cross over bridge and the Forty
secOnd-st. elevated station became as safe as
any other stopping-place on the elevated sys-
tenn.
Why cannot this same idea bo introduced
at Chatham Square The main line Of travel
